Anna of This Beautiful Life is modeling some more great trends. These are trends from Summer 2017, but a great trend can be worn well beyond its appointed time. Don't let a good thing die! And yes, white after labor day is only a crime because it looks so good.

There are so many variations of these trends. I always say, endless possibility excites me. Incorporating your personal fashion 'loves' into a trending look is a great way to 'catch eyes'. People will tell you that you have something awesome going on with your style. Trust me! Being authentic is the only way to be. You look the greatest bein' you.

Check out Anna's blog for a detailed look at her Summer '17 Makeup Look, with tutorial. Click HERE.

This look has been popular this Summer and is great anytime the heat strikes!

The "Bra Out" Trend of 2017

Throw a button down over a crop top/bralette and leave it open for the summer breeze to make its way in. I don't know about you, but I am always finding ways to stay cool in these Texas Scorchers. They get me so sizzling that I am forced to stop and take precautions.

The skirt and the booties shown are a Buffalo Exchange purchase. The belt is from the White House Black Market Fall '15 Collection. If you plan ahead, certain items in your wardrobe can last a lifetime. This go-to brown/neutral belt wasn't a planned purchase, but once in a great while you will get lucky.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Are You Crazy Too?

Socks and sandals may sound like a middle-age dad fad, but you can wear it too. You can make anything your own. If you are feeling brave, a fashion statement is a good way to let the world know. Some days we might need that, you know?

The best part about socks and sandals is that is doesn't make sense to most outside perspectives from the get-go. So BE free. Once you're there, you might as well bring it home. No one sees the reasoning behind any of your decisions in life, anyway. People will always judge.

Will you go out and be you? Or will you tone yourself down, condition yourself to the expectation of others, and hold it all in?

Everyone has a voice. Yours may look nothing like mine, and that is good. Nobody fits the mold because, there isn't one. That is exciting to me. There is no one with the same DNA as you on the planet, nor has there ever been, nor ever will be. It's yours. Work it, diva.
